8120W START RECEIVE TRANSACTION REJECTED [ ‑ user information]

Written to:

CICS terminal or operator console.

Explanation:

This message can be caused by the following:

• A user has tried to invoke VDF via CICS and has entered B11R as a transaction instead of B11C.

-OR-

• The session request of a user to an inactive CAF has failed because the receive transaction for the VTAM connection to VDF could not be started. Most likely, the user is not authorized to start this transaction.

If available, user information shows who has tried to enter where, and how the logon was requested. It has the following format:

U=user, TRM=terminal ID, ACCESS=access_type

user	User ID used in CICS at that time or the CICS default user
terminal ID	CICS terminal ID
access type	How the CAF system is accessed

The CAF system can be accessed as follows:

DIRECTLY	Transaction ID has been entered directly (default B11C)
START TRANS.	Via START TRANSACTION
PROGRAM XCTL	By means of XCTL
PROGRAM LINK	By means of LINK

System Action:

The VTAM connection to VDF cannot be established successfully. The APPL ID of CAF is active, but the RA pool for receiving data from VDF is not available. The CAF activation is incomplete. Establishing the user session fails.

If the next logon request is made by a user who is authorized to start the missing receive transaction, the activation of the CICS online interface can be completed. This is only possible if no other error has occurred.

Operator Response:

Check and adjust the permissions of the current user to enable access to the specified CICS transaction. Alternatively, CAF can be activated by a user who is authorized to start the receive transaction, which gives all other users access to VDF.
